Abstract

The assumed "constancy" of fat-free body mass hydration is a cornerstone in the body-composition research field. Hydration, the observed ratio of total body water to fat-free body mass, is stable at approximately 0.73 in mammals and this constancy provides a means of estimating total body fat in vivo.
